How AI and Agile Reduced Software Delivery Delays

Software delivery bottlenecks often stem from unclear requirements, oversized work items, and limited process visibility rather than coding speed alone. In this discussion, Saxoprint explains how restructuring software delivery around smaller agile work units and introducing GitHub Copilot reduced lead times from roughly 90 days to under 20 days for smaller tasks. The conversation also highlights organizational adoption challenges, developer enablement, and the importance of external guidance during transformation initiatives. Technology leaders should care because AI-assisted development delivers the strongest impact when paired with operational and workflow redesign.
